garam-e-talash-o-justuju ab hai teri nazar kahan

garm-e-talāsh-o-justujū ab hai tirī nazar kahāñ

ḳhuun hai kuchh jamā huā qalb kahāñ jigar kahāñ

hai ye tarīq-e-āshiqī chāhiye is meñ be-ḳhudī

is meñ chunāñ-chunīñ kahāñ is meñ agar magar kahāñ

zulf thī jo bikhar ga.ī ruḳh thā ki jo nikhar gayā

haa.e vo shaam ab kahāñ haa.e vo ab sahar kahāñ

kījiye aaj kis tarah dauḌ ke sajda-e-niyāz

ye bhī to hosh ab nahīñ paañv kahāñ hai sar kahāñ

haa.e vo din guzar ga.e joshish-e-iztirāb ke

niind qafas meñ aa ga.ī ab ġham-e-bāl-o-par kahāñ

hosh o ḳhirad ke phere meñ umr-e-azīz sarf kī

raat to kaT ga.ī yahāñ dekhiye ho sahar kahāñ

garm-e-talash-o-justuju ab hai teri nazar kahan

KHun hai kuchh jama hua qalb kahan jigar kahan

hai ye tariq-e-ashiqi chahiye is mein be-KHudi

is mein chunan-chunin kahan is mein agar magar kahan

zulf thi jo bikhar gai ruKH tha ki jo nikhar gaya

hae wo sham ab kahan hae wo ab sahar kahan

kijiye aaj kis tarah dauD ke sajda-e-niyaz

ye bhi to hosh ab nahin panw kahan hai sar kahan

hae wo din guzar gae joshish-e-iztirab ke

nind qafas mein aa gai ab gham-e-baal-o-par kahan

hosh o KHirad ke phere mein umr-e-aziz sarf ki

raat to kaT gai yahan dekhiye ho sahar kahan
